Eunice Alison Nyang’or addressing the assembly at Harvard University May 29, 2019 TWITTER

The video of Eunice Alison Nyang’or's commencement speech at Harvard University, Boston, has gone viral.

Picked as one among the three keynote speakers during the globally acclaimed university's graduation day, Eunice, who is also known as Mwabe, was eloquent, witty and humorous in her delivery.

She touched on various topics including her happy upbringing in Nairobi, Kenya as well her fascination with what lied beyond the horizon in addition to old American movies.

Yeah! a few second from the beginning, but gained courage as she progressed further. This is normal when doing a speech, personally, I've gone through crazy challenges when speaking to an audience, like suddenly forgetting meaning of some fact items in my PPT doc, but it gets better when addressing an audience of professionals, they have a way of urging you on, and acknowledging your contribution.
 
You mean she's a comedian. Ali G delivered a speech at Havard once as well.
 
Its good gaining support from the people who walked the same road you are treading on. The rest would always find fault and never acknowledge anything. There is a wise saying that says, 'Don't laugh at a man's gait cause you have never been in his shoes'
